$59 billion project funded by several nations. (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=77469&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0)

Built on the S-37 (Su-47) "Berkut" ("Golden Eagle") testbed, this fighter trades in a considerable amount of payload and armor (devotion to fuel cache and propulsion systems) for the ability to completely out-manuever any and all enemy threats. This is the United Socialist States of Zvarinograd's bid towards the world's most manueverable air superiority fighter. This aircraft is also built with practicality in mind, following suit of Zvarinograd's specialization in maintenance and modification of pre-existing weaponry, so maintenance costs are somewhat cheap considering it's fuel consumption.

Bump.

Umm... I'm sorry, but this is a Godmode. You can't go Mach 5.5 in a jet plane :) The fastest jet in the world goes mach 3 and tat's using RAMJets, not turbofans... This plane could probably go about mach 2.7

Everything else seems OK... in fact cruising speed seems fine too lol but max speed is waaay off.

OOC:
THANK YOU.

God I was waiting for that. :X

I was waiting for someone to say what speed it has.

OOC: No Prob... i run an IC aerospace company and I like to make sure My competition is legit ;)

Instead of fly-by-wire, fly-by-optics?

Instead of fly-by-wire, fly-by-optics?Same difference. Optics run to computers which control wires which control mechanics... no big

OOC:
Well, none of my production facilities are making Blitz yet, I can change now. Oh, the thing's built solely for the purpose of being too agile for any enemy threat to hit. For this pricey a project, can I at least retain my fighter's ability to out-manuever mach 4 AIM-120 AMRAAMS? :P

Pick one, maneuverability or speed... they don't mix well. That airframe screams maneuverability. But keep it under Mach 3. I use Pulse Det Hybrids and I can barely pass Mach 3. Oh, and it's not too hard to outmaneuver a sidewinder... so that's fine.

OOC:
Well, manueverability works. It's what the project really intended to go for. Speed's just a secondary priority.

OOC:
Hey Raysia, think I can fit it with scramjets plus a liquid hydrocarbon fuel (http://www.news.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=2072) to boost it's speed somewhat beyond mach 3? If it works mach 6.5 on a cruise missle, how much do you think it will do for this frame?

None, Scramjets require a very specific airframe to channel air intake... this couldn't handle it, sorry kid. The typical Scramjet is a Penguin-body shape or looks like a cruise missile :)

Face it man, the Plane in that drawing is most definately a maneuver plane. Mach 2.7 is fine... especially for someone as new as you

OOC: I'd go for maneuverability if I were you. In my not so humble opinion, if your enemy simply can't hit you, then anything above Mach 2 is just gravy. Mach 1.8 might even be acceptable. Then again, that's just my opinion. Nice bird. :)

My most powerful multirole is the RF-11D, top speed of Mach 3.1, and a maneuverability that puts the SuperFlanker or the Raptor back with the F-15s :P but that took a LOT of Resaearch and development and advanced systems to get it that far. Wait a while before you roll out the big guns.

OOC: Raysia's right, by the way. Scrammies would do nothing for that airframe because the airframe isn't designed for them. The whole airframe has to be basically built to make the engines work, or they just simply won't.

My suggestion is that you make the engines augmented turbofans and make the top speed something in the Mach 1.8 to 2.5 range, probably towards the lower end of that scale, but give it the ability to supercruise somewhere around Mach 1.5. With an airframe as maneuverable as that is likely to be, that should be more than enough. :)

OOC:
Mkk. Guess I'm sticking it to pure un-hittable manueverability. Anyway, next research project.

OOC: *Wonders, largely out of curiosity, just how well the F-72 Broadsword would hold up against one of those* She's just got a Mach 2.5+ max speed, but she's ridiculously maneuverable, and if I load her with ADAAMs, can engage you from 100 miles out.

I got a UCAV that can pull 15 positive and 10 negative g's... lot yu can do when you don't have to worry about a human blacking out :) just stick a kid behind the Joystick and a monitor... hehehehe I'm sure either one would be a great competition to see :)

Oh, and Z... i have missiles, QAAMs, that are far more maneuverable than Sidewinders... not fast, but supermaneuverable... one heck of a pain to try to shake.

Anyway, I'm goin to bed, c'yall later.

OOC:
Thanks, both of you, titans of aerospace.

Anyway Raysia, when you get back, lets test those missles on the Blitz and see if it can dodge them. Remember, I started this project to be hypermanueverable. :wink:

OOC: You're welcome. Damn nice bird. I'd buy from you any day... If I wasn't using NATO-standard hardware and making my own stuff. ;) Like I said, though... Nice bird.

Come on people, any buyers?

Too bad. Guess I'll have to keep them for military use until someone decides to buy them. Oh well, no one said good aircraft means good sales.

We will take 2, to capare to our superior VTOL F-32. :wink:

Can you show me my GDP calc?

Confirmed. Hope you like trying to hit something that's more manueverable than any AA missle currently out. :wink:

Bump, in case anyone wants to buy, hopefully.
